Harlan Coben, here in The Innocent, introduces us to Matt Hunter who is a 20 years old man, everything going for him, his whole life ahead of him.
And then he makes one stupid mistake and kills someone.
Matt does his time in prison.
13 years later, he is married to Olivia, working for a law firm. He has put the past behind him, where it belongs.
Olivia is expecting their first child, and they are overjoyed at the prospect of being parents.
Then he receives a strange photo on his phone, sent to him by Olivia. A photo of a man.
So begins the slow unravelling of everything Matt has built and holds dear.
Matt starts to realise that he knows very little about his beautiful wife.
Everything she told him about herself - was it all a lie? Suddenly the perfect life he envisioned for himself, a convicted murderer, begins to seem hopelessly unrealistic.
The twists and turns just seem to lead to more questions instead of answers.
The Innocent by Harlan Coben, races at breakneck speed to its climax with plenty of surprises along the way.
A really good, gripping thriller.
Happy reading!
